| RTL 9: SHOW ME THE MONKEY PICS Warning: Linked Pics are very large and take time to load up..... here is the link for the folder: RTL9 Picture Folder (Brickshelf Folder w/ Thumbnails) My contribution: Moral Support, Staunchion Carrier, Scorekeeper, and crowd control.....BASH Brother 2001 :) along with Iain Hendry (notice our trademarked red hats!!! );-) So in other words, I didn’t bring a robot, due to sorry and limited technic parts that I own, and a very limited experience with Mindstorm/Technic series... Anyway, here’s the pics... Travelling There... First, I drove my car to the Port Credit GO station....so I could have a great adventure, besides having a great Lego experience (even though it is Technic) Photo 1

On the GO train, took pic of Level Crossing...mmmmm
Notice the background is whizzing buy, and the crossing is clear!! I loved how that pic turned out!!! Got to Union Station, and then took the subway to the library, first going from Union to Queens Park Station, and going out the College Ave exit. Walked 3 to 4 blocks to the Library.

Rob, the winner of the games
I guess that is it for the competition..... We went to Mel’s right after, (I think I went with Chris and his wife) an RTL tradition to discuss upcoming events, more specifically to talk about RTL 10 (Project X), which had been brought up by Chris Magno, who wanted it to be named “Hey Mister” as in “Hey Mister, your robot sucks!!!!!” After a heated debate on some of the finer points of the game, which will consist of Iain’s specialty, Gantry Robots, we all parted ways again. On the way back... I then boarded the subway, this time picking it up on the corner of Bloor and Bathurst, at the Bathurst Subway Station, just across the street from Honest Eds. Photo 15 
A nice picture of a street car, on Bathurst St

From Bathurst Subway Station, I rode to St. George Station. Photo 17 
Pic 17 St George Subway Station and a train approaches
I went back on the Young/University Line, and then went to Union Station, where, I went “next door” and boarded the GO train. I travelled back to Port Credit Station (where my car is) and got off. Photo 18 
A pic of the GO train, passing by, as I was about to go home.
The above picture upset me slightly, because if I had waited just 2 more minutes, I would have taken a picture of an Amtrak train....mmmmmmm..... Metroliners, anyone?????? :) Just for giggles.... I was playing around with this picture....could it be Saddam??? click here for laughs ooops...no its only Chris Magno!!! (He he he) click here for more pictures |
